    Treason's lungs burned, as if every breath sucked in fire. It had been a simple task-- a diplomatic mission to Frigid Plague. She had left a week ago, intent on strengthening their ties with the recent uprise of so many new packs in the valley. With the moon full and ripe in the night sky, she had more than enough light to guide her on her trek through the valley, and yet this sense of security had been a lie.

As striking as the first rose in spring, her silky, soft, shiny hair combined with her enticingly exquisite eyes produced a sublime look; it instantly ejected any pressure in the room. Her presence would’ve even made an angry person hopeful. Withered by time, the plethora of thin liable cracks scattered across the olive-dyed floors and indigo walls with an antique circular pattern ; this house was old enough to live in a pangea . However, there was a skeptical sense of suspicion of this person.…

Watching my grandma take the cinnamon rolls out of the oven and putting them in a baby blue plate, she puts them on the center of the table.…

An often reprimanded undertaking, that created a great deal of sound, when hard plastic greeted with worn and cracked concreate. The sky had greyed, and it had an annoying indecisive attitude as to whether it wanted to rain or not. It was halfway down a “shortcut,” an alley that separated the pharmacy, and another shop I would have engrained into memory, if I knew I would never be able to recount it.…
